[first world war] . A superlative account of the prelude to and events of the First World War. It is still regarded as a defining work of twentieth-century history, reconstructing the action on the Western and Eastern Fronts, the wars at sea and in the air and the advent of tanks and U-boats. Churchill describes the Lusitania's sinking, the heroics of the Battle of Jutland, Verdun's 'soul-stirring frenzy', the bloodshed of Gallipoli, the Somme and Passchendaele, as well as the USA's entry into the conflict. It confirmed the author's reputation as a brilliant historian.

First editions; 5 vols in 6, 8vo (234 x 160 mm); illustrated throughout with portraits, maps and plans, some folding, faint spotting to first and last few ff., errata slip to volumes 4 & 5 only; modern half crushed green morocco, red morocco lettering pieces.
